Migrating data to another management station
If you are moving data from an existing management station to a new management station, use
the Backup utility to migrate HP XP7 Performance Advisor settings and preferences. Use this tool
to preserve the data and configuration preferences by saving the existing settings and restoring
them on the new management station. Migrate or backup the HP XP7 Performance Advisor database
and settings based on the following options:
IMPORTANT: You must import the data to the same version of the management station as that
of the installed HP XP7 Performance Advisor.
For example: If you have installed HP XP7 Performance Advisor v6.0,then you must import the
data to management station version 6.0.
CAUTION: HP Strongly insists not to manually copy or use the drag and drop feature to move
the PADB folder to the target management station, or another location on the source management
station. This action will result in irrevocable loss of data. Use only the Backup utility provided by
HP XP7 Performance Advisor to migrate data.
IMPORTANT:
•
To use the Backup utility, ensure that the same version of HP XP7 Performance Advisor version
is installed on both the backed up HP XP7 Performance Advisor and also on the restoring HP
XP7 Performance Advisor. If the HP XP7 Performance Advisor versions mismatch, “Version
incompatible” error message is displayed.
•
Do not modify the default settings that is configured for the HP XP7 Performance Advisor
database at the time of installation or upgrade.
•
If you have already configured the serverparameters.properties file on the target
management station, it will be replaced with the serverparameters.properties file
that you backed up from the source management station. After you restore the database, the
HP XP7 Performance Advisor Tomcat service is automatically restarted to reflect the latest
settings.
